First Half of Spring Break

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!

This Spring Break we are here at home. Aaron's mom, Melinda, is here so we have been doing "touristy" things around Midland. We went to the Rattlesnake Round up in Sweetwater, TX (only the largest rattlesnake round up in the WORLD!)

Us trying fried rattlesnake

Melinda couldn't do it, she sure tried though

Jake loved it and asked for more, but we just couldn't get Maddy to even think about trying it.

We went to the Petroleum Museum yesterday.

Aaron's brother and sister in-law get here today, and Jake has his first baseball scrimmage this evening so there will be more to come!

Jake's Thomas Edison Presentation

Jake's gifted&talented class gave presentations today on the inventor they had researched. It was fun to see all they had learned. Here are some pictures of Jake's presentation. If you have questions you can ask them via email or on the comment section here I am sure he would love to answer them!

I love the symbolism here. . . notice the University of Wyoming pennant (Jake's gift/talented teacher graduated from there) on the same wall as the TX flag.

Jake with his Thomas Edison props.
Here is a pic of Jake and I after the presentation. I hadn't planned on the photo op ;) so I am au naturale with my new 'do (I had bangs cut yesterday)

I have been trying to post the video of the presentation, I was only able to get the video to load on my facebook page so you can see it there or try this link (not sure if it will work) http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=570912849&ref=name

I will tell you it's a 3rd grade presentation so it's kinda slow, but I wanted you to have a chance to see it!

Bloggable Draperies

Really, some wouldn't need to blog about their draperies; but I do! This was my first attempt at window coverings thus the blog entry. These pictures are good, you don't need to get too close :D 'cause they aren't perfect. I finished late last night and Aaron dropped everything to help me hang them. Like he cut the mounting board and covered it and put the brackets up and then hung the thing :) Thank you Aaron! With the completion of the draperies my room decorating is done, pretty much! I painted the scripture on the wall last fall and we got the bed last spring and I am glad to be finished!
